Grammar
Who are/who is
Hi there!
Is it possible to ask: "Who are in the playground?", if several people are involved, or is it always "Who is in the playground"? The first one sounds wrong to me, but I have no grammatical rule at hand, why? Questions like "Who are the people in the playground?" seem correct to me, and even "Who are in the film Avengers?" seems less wrong. I'm confused.....
Thanks for your help!
